Any other XHP35 owners have the reflector haze issue ?
HiKARInoob,
The braided Paracord handle is the nicest type I've seen and really works/fits well with the bulk of the light. BTW What is the condition of your reflector? Who did you email about the lanyard? I would like a new reflector....
Most likely not going to happen. Although I’ve only read one measurement I think it’s more realistic to think of throw of ~200 kcd.
I just briefly checked the condition of my reflectors of my MT07S lights and they looked fine. However, I’ve never really looked closely as I’m easily satisfied I think when it comes to reflector quality.
I didn’t email anyone regarding the lanyard as I’m not going to use it.
i won the lanyard lottery and bought the farm on the reflector. It’s very minor, I’m nit picking but side by side with my 70.2 MT09R comparison (which has strikingly good reflectors) I expected better...
...then again at one third the price I’m not going to complain and it doesn’t negatively affect anything except light instruments, like 3% or so....
Just came in the mail today and I Love it
Thank You so much M4D M4X you are the Man
I ordered the black XHP35 HI Upgrade version and it was a steal. I will surely use this light the most. Fits in your hand perfectly, has a great UI, Beefy Lanyard and mount. Great on the road light, I drive 2hrs to work every day, just need to find a zip case to keep it in my lunch tote. You guys are going to like this one.
I have a CW 70.2 MT09R and am having TA work his magic with. The Cool White is waaay too blue for me, and now I know the right spec for it's replacements.
The 80CRI is key. I'm a high CRI kinda cat after all. Higher than 70s, anyhow. I really notice the color rendering subtleties.
The driver is FULLY regulated, the output will NOT decrease with depleting cells
Why? Because instead of having a 2S battery pack then bucking that voltage to an XHP70.2 6V forward voltage, it has a 4S battery pack.
Doing this allows for a very large voltage delta with the buck converter meaning with a 6V LED, output will FULLY regulated until the cells are empty, even on turbo if cooled well.
That is only valid for the XHP70.2 version.
At higher output levels, the XHP35HI version will suffer from decreasing brightness.
I’m pretty sure Nicolicous was talking about the 35 version with 12V emitter. In order to have constant max output you need a buck/boost driver, which I don’t think it has.
